He earned third-team All-Big Ten recognition and also is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He was voted a team captain this season.In 37 career games, he totaled 161 tackles, six interceptions and three forced fumbles.There are few things I love more than playing the game of football, and the game has provided me with so many opportunities, including the chance to attend this university, Harris said. It has been a blessing to be a part of this community and learn so many lessons. Northwestern has given me so much. I look forward to taking full advantage of my chance to give back to the world around me in the future.Nevada running back Akeel Lynch and Kansas offensive lineman Jordan Shelley-Smith retired from football earlier this season because of concussions.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.orgFake Shoes .
